Here’s the link to the short screener for finding your child’s level of communication development.
Turn taking lays the foundation for conversation skills. At Level 5 your child plays near peers but does not interact with peers during play.
Your child can pass a toy back and forth with you, taking turns using the toy for a simple action. They learn how to share by doing this with you.
Today’s activity: Use a toy for a simple action, like feeding a doll with a spoon. Take turns feeding the doll, passing the spoon back and forth with your child. Model how to include a peer in interactions. Model a cue like “soft touch” often.
